Shadow Constellations Training for Therapists - Online
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” C.G. Jung
The Shadow is the realm of the unconscious into which we put what we repress and deny, what we disown and can’t acknowledge. The Shadow is ‘born’ to the family we are born into and into the culture(s) we are brought up in.
Shadow Constellations combine the healing potential of both Family Constellations and Shadow Work, connecting Intergenerational Healing with Self-Parts Integration in novel ways.
This training module is for therapists, facilitators, teachers, practitioners and other professionals who work with people.
We will focus on experiential learning, giving you personal embodied experience of the work, in addition to the theory and the practice.
* You do not need to have experience or training in Shadow work and/or Family Constellations. All relevant instruction will be given.
You do need to have some training in therapy/coaching/facilitation and experience in working professionally with people.
The next international training dates:
10th of May 2023 – 10am to 1:30pm Israel time.
29th of May 2023 – 5:30pm to 9pm Israel time.
Please look towards the bottom of the page for the exact dates of each training
In the Shadow Constellations Training Module, we will:
- Get in touch with many of our meaningful Shadows and reintegrate with them
- Expand the range of issues and clients we can work with
- Learn how to identify our Shadows and the Shadows of our clients
- Identify and change the effect the Shadow has on the professional relationships with our clients and our business success
- Experience Shadow Constellations, both in various personal structures and in group work
- Learn how to skillfully facilitate Shadow Constellations in both clinical and group settings
On the psychological level, Shadow Constellations allows us to identify and work with the underlying forces that affect and even manage the client-facilitator/therapist relationship.
These include Transference & Counter transference ,Projective identification and Projections in general. This enables therapists to avoid empathic failures and even to turn them into breakthroughs.
On a more general professional level, it allows us to develop greater empathy, powerful gentleness and the ability to work with a broader range of issues and people.
On an emotional level, Shadow Constellations allows us to better understand the hidden dynamics with clients; how to turn what triggers them and us in life, and in the clinic, into a healing and empowering journey of reintegration.
They allow our clients and ourselves to reintegrate and own difficult emotions, experiences and positive qualities.
On a body level, Shadow Constellations helps us to get in touch with our body, through layers and memories filled with shame, disgust and exclusion and through the traumas that are stored in our body.
On the intergenerational level, it allows us to identify, reconnect and heal the sometimes forgotten sources of the Shadow, the traumas of our ancestors, which are the cause of much of our clients’ suffering.
